Find any 1960's or early 70's molecular biology enzyme purification 
paper and you will invariably find that they used Streptomycin sulphate 
pptation prior to loading their first column. Subsequently Polymin P 
pptation came along. Just be very careful about pptating the protein you 
may want with too much of either. You can't always back recover it.
